nor is there any apparent demand by
individual producers or consumers for

(vi) Representative of Heung Yee Kuk on Executive and Legislative Councils
Members of the Executive and
Legislative Councils are not appointed on
a geographical basis. This does not mean,
however, that New Territories interests or,
for the matter, the interests of any other
geographical area, are being neglected.
You are no doubt aware that members of the
two Councils have been making regular visits
to the New Territories, particularly during
the past two years and more visits are
planned. A number of questions have been
asked in the Legislative Council on New
Territories matters recently. In addition,
members of the Kuk hate, of course, access
to the office of UMELCO.
